Overwhelming (Al-Ghaasheyah)
In the name of God, The Most Gracious, The Dispenser of Grace
Has the news of the overwhelming event reached you? 1 On that day (many) faces will be downcast, 2 Laboring, toiling, 3 about to enter a glowing fire, 4 They will be given to drink from a boiling spring, 5 No food will there be for them but a poisonous thorny plant, 6 that will neither nourish nor satisfy their hunger. 7 (Other) faces on that day shall be happy, 8 With their effort [they are] satisfied 9 In a high Garden. 10 wherein they will not hear any vain talk. 11 Therein shall be a spring running! 12 Therein will be Thrones (of dignity), raised on high, 13 And goblets ready placed! 14 cushions ranged, 15 And carpets ready spread, 16 Do they not look at the Camels, how they are made?- 17 how the heavens are raised up high, 18 how the mountains were hoisted, 19 And at the earth - how it is spread out? 20 Therefore do thou give admonition, for thou art one to admonish. 21 You do not have full control over them. 22 But whoever will turn away (from the Truth), 23 So Allah will mete out to him the greatest punishment. 24 To Us they will all return. 25 and verily, It is for Us to call them to account. 26
